Been interested in it for quite a while, never really that much to make me go out and but it. If anyone has it, do you recommend it?

I'm especially interested in what it offers in terms of longevity - I really don't want another short Nintendo game.

I loved Black and White.

This game intrests me, I'll get it pre-owned, that way i won't be losing out on much cash.

Based on that i'd certainly give it a try - sounds like a less hardcore version of Black & White which is reportedly one of the most over-hyped games I've ever played.

Don't listen to IB, he's insane, and suffering from dementia.

I found it to be good during the first few weeks I had it, and very original. But I'm not pretty sick and fed-up with it, but that may be because I got frustrated with all the villagers and their hate for me, and so I destroyed their pathetic little lives in 5 minutes with Jashin!!

That's one of the best things about this game - destruction.
Build something beautifull with Doshin, destroy it all with his other-side!
:D

I reckon you should either rent it or get it cheap (maybe pre-owned somewhere?). Depends whether or not you like Japanese-style games or not really. There's no time limit, but it's not something you'll be wanting to play forever. But you can come-back to it real easily.

My favourite "God" game has to be either Meglomania or Populous...great games!

Doshin is gay. It's the most insulting piece of crap I've come across in years. I am so very thankful that I could take it back to SR for a full refund.

If you have any other "God" games, I guarantee that they are better than this tripe.

I agree. You didn't even like Shenmue. Don't trust WS. Ever. On games. Other things,however, he's as good as anyone else.

It'll last you ages so long as you have the patience for it. There's no time limit so it could last you forever.

Problem is there's not really enough things to do to keep your attention for a very long time.
